Tulsi Gabbard unleashed a barrage of shocking charges against Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, claiming that she was on ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and was dealing with ‘psycho emotional problems’ during the 2016 election.
Gabbard, who is President Donald Trump‘s director of National Intelligence, said Russia President Vladimir Putin had that information and planned to use it against her when she was serving as president.
The information was in the September 2020 report by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Russia’s attempts to influence the election that Gabbard declassified on Wednesday.
‘This report shows Putin held back leaking, held back from leaking compromising material on Hillary Clinton prior to the election, instead planning to release it after the election,’ Gabbard said.

The declassified report also claims that Clinton suffered from severe health ailments like type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease.
It also claimed that Clinton – who then was serving as Obama’s secretary of state -had her government aides hold secret meetings with religious leaders where they were offered ‘significant increases in funding’ from the State Department in return for their political support in the election.
‘The intelligence community intentionally suppressed intelligence that showed Putin was saving the most damaging material that he had in his possession about Hillary Clinton until after her potential and likely victory,’ Gabbard said.
‘There were high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary’s, quote, psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers,’ she added.
Clinton did have a public health scare during the 2016 contest.
She swooned and stumbled at a Sept. 11 commemoration in New York in an incident captured on cell phone video.
It showed Clinton wobbling and being lifted into the vehicle by her aides after leaving a memorial service at the site of the 2001 World Trade Center attack.
The Clinton campaign later said she was diagnosed with pneumonia. And her doctor, a few days later, declared Clinton ‘healthy and fit to serve’ as president.
She had other health scares. In January 2011, when on an official trip to Yemen, Clinton tripped and fell on the plane stairs as she was departing the country.

The declassified House report made a slew of charges about Clinton, including
- As of September 2016, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had Democratic National Committee (DNC) information that President Obama and party leaders found the state of Secretary Clinton’s health to be ‘extraordinarily alarming’ and felt it could have ‘serious negative impact’ on her election prospects. Her health information was being kept in ‘strictest secrecy’ and even close advisors were not being fully informed
- The SVR possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psychoemotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression. and cheerfulness.’ Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and while afraid of losing, she remained ‘obsessed with a thirst for power.’
- The SVR also had information that Clinton suffered from ‘Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.’
- The SVR possessed a campaign email discussing a plan approved by Secretary Clinton to link Putin and Russian hackers to candidate Trump in order to ‘distract the [American] public’ from the Clinton email server scandal.
- The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in August had details of secret meetings with multiple named US religious organizations, in which US State Department representatives offered-in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton- ‘significant increases in financing’ from Department funds and ‘the patronage’ of State in dealing with ‘post-Soviet’ countries.,
Clinton has not publicly responded to the charges.
Gabbard has been releasing a slew of reports that claim former President Barack Obama and his administration were part of a ‘treasonous conspiracy’ to allege Russia interfered in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf.
She claims Obama was behind a smear campaign to sew doubt about Trump’s 2016 victory.
‘President Obama directed an intelligence community assessment to be created to further this contrived false narrative that ultimately led to a years long coup to try to undermine President Trump’s presidency,’ Gabbard said.
Gabbard specifically charged Obama’s CIA director John Brennan as the leading figure behind the ‘conspiracy’ to undermine Trump’s first term.
She repeatedly claimed Russia was preparing for a Clinton victory in 2016 and were preparing to release it after she won.
‘They specifically withheld what they had on her, the most damning information, because they thought she would win he election. They had plans to release it, just prior to her inauguration … to discord and chaos in America,’ she said.

President Trump has seized on the new information and accused his Democratic rivals of organizing a failed ‘coup’ in 2016.
‘They tried to rig the election and they got caught and there should be really severe consequences,’ he said on Tuesday.
Trump has long argued that the FBI counterintelligence probe that began during the 2016 election was the start of a ‘coup’ to prevent him from taking office.
He also issued an extraordinary call to investigate the former president – accusing his predecessor of ‘treason.’
‘After what they did to me, whether it’s right or wrong, it’s time to go after people,’ Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
Obama fired back at the ‘bizarre allegations’ coming from Trump.
His office dismissed the claims as another example of the constant ‘nonsense and misinformation’ that emanates out of the White House.
‘Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,’ his post-presidency office said in a statement.
